Abstract

The invention relates to a hearing protector, comprising a sealing body placeable in an auditory canal of a person, which is manufactured from flexible material so as to fit in the auditory canal of a specific person. The hearing protector is further provided with a sound source for generating sound waves to be propagated in the auditory canal. In addition, the hearing protector comprises a control unit connectable to the sound source, which is designed for recording ambient sound. The control unit is also designed for feeding electronic signals representing the recorded ambient sound for reproduction to the sound source.
